What we do
Support for carers
Caring with Confidence aims to make a positive difference to carers and the people they care for, by improving their health and well-being. We do this by providing support for carers through sessions, designed by carers for carers, where they can learn skills, get advice and information, talk and share experiences.
The Caring with Confidence programme is designed to fit around people’s lives and caring responsibilities. Carers can pick and choose how many sessions they attend, and how they get involved – from local group sessions to self-study workbooks and online sessions.
New Deal for Carers
Caring with Confidence is funded by the Department of Health and is part of the Government’s renewed National Carers Strategy and the ‘New Deal for Carers’, which aims to improve support for carers aged 18 and over in England.
The programme is completely free for people who look after someone who can also receive help with travel and alternative care costs.
